wohoho blogging frequency going up. comfortably lying down with a stomach full of food. dad came back from 1 and a half week of holiday (3-4days in manila and a week of diving). brought us to changi to visit the old punggol seafood restaurant that shifted from punggol end beach corner to punggol marina and then finally settle down at changi. Choon Seng, the name of the restaurant that started off as a coffee shop. its a standalone old shop house on its own and with a signboard with a small car park at its front porch area, well furnished classical shop house with old feel. quite ulu and people only know the shop tru words of mouth. no special advertisement or any sort to create awareness, just its signboard cultivated over a very long time that people remember. (after listening and reading stories) they started selling mee goreng and other specialties in a coffee shop where our preceding generation at our age would visit. especially of its past location, it would be affordable to youngsters who are most often the ones crowding the beach. which means it was cheap good food available to everybody. but after decades and till now, its a restaurant that not all the same old people can visit without having to spend extra to dine in there for their favourite teenage-years food. now its expensive food. well not that i didnt like the food, but the evolution of their shop is not something that i like seeing. i guess its all because of the changing of hands when the previous owner decided to leave it to the next current owner. the taste of the recipe comes with a price tag. why can't all good food be shared without a price... well. i feel tasked to state that fine dining is not good food. if i were in the position to decide, i would let the whole world have free good food. i bloody hell should have been a cook, maybe i can do part time at home. hahaha really like cooking for people. cookingworm, sherman
